WHEREAS, Amtrak provides other tangible benefits to the region, among those <br /> reducing our reliance on imported oil, enhancing our economy and global <br /> competitiveness, and giving the Puget Sound an energy-efficient and <br /> environmentally-beneficial transportation mode which uses half as much energy <br /> per passenger mile as airlines and causes less air pollution. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved By the City Council of the City of <br /> Everett: <br /> 1. That President Clinton and the U.S. Congress should maintain current levels of <br /> federal funding for Amtrak. <br /> 2. That funding to support Amtrak service connecting Everett to Vancouver, B.C. <br /> and Chicago should be maintained. <br /> 3. That Congress should support a $10 million funding request for the Swift Rail <br /> program. <br /> 4. That federal officials should include a strong and vibrant Amtrak system in any <br /> plans for a "National Transportation System." <br /> k_t___Q., <br /> Councilperson Introducina_ 1,—(dAt_( (_-(L -At' �olution <br /> PASSED and APPROVED this 12day of April , 1995 . <br /> f'Cou(2Q . <br /> 1 Presdent <br />
